Wandered into CanLab which is oposite the myer exit from the canberra center...

I was asking about printing and the girl there was very helpfull... They do a photographic print (ie exposing your digital image onto semigloss photo paper) for $16 for an A3 page (with a miniumum order of $20)

This is the price for "we take it and print it", ie you have to do the correction cropping etc... corrected prints are $25

But they give you this card that they have printed on thier printer and a link to a jpeg of the card so you can calibrate your monitor to thier printer!

They say the print will last as long as a photo (as it is exactly the same thing)

MHD,
You better invest your $$$$ into the Epson 2100 and you have yourself an inhouse lab printing. Workout it more cheaper than go to the printing lab in your situation.

The Epson 2100 is around $1200- 1300.00
The longevity of the Epson paper/ inks last longer than our lives
The A3 Super size paper cost around $3.00 each, other size of A3 is cheaper

Postby christiand on Sun Jan 16, 2005 8:54 pm

Guys and Girls have a look at this.
I had 8x12 prints done for $2 each and I'm happy with the result and even more with the price.

It cheap as hot chip :lol: around $1200-$1300.00 Aussie dollar
Remember the A3 size photo (from MHD) which I gave you last time you visited is A3 and the Super A3 size is more larger than it,
A3: 297 x 420
Super A3: 329 x 483

Birddog,

I think I do remember that the cost was about $4 per print ?
Would that be right ?

$4.00 on A3 and around $6.00 on super A3 and you can do inhouse works.
